This week, we’re prototyping an onchain authenticator to tackle one of crypto’s persistent headaches: bot exploitation of airdrops.
Let’s break it down 🧵 👇
2/ Airdrops are meant to reward real users.
Bots dilute that purpose.
We’re exploring verification methods like liveness detection and zero-knowledge proofs (e.g., passports) to bring meaningful sybil resistance on-chain.
3/ Engineering highlights:
- Built a server prototype to handle client proving requests
- Started an authentication contract in Solidity
- Integrated Foundry to run mock simulations
- Testing end-to-end flows with dummy data
4/ Next step: connect the authenticator to actual utility contracts to test real-world integration.
We’re still early, but making steady progress toward more human-proof crypto.
Stay tuned.
